Meta Threads Tests Long-Form Notes to Rival X’s Extended Articles

Meta Threads Rolls Out Support for Long Posts

Meta’s Threads is stepping up its game by experimenting with long-form posts that go beyond its traditional 500-character limit. This new feature allows users to attach extensive notes to their Threads posts, offering more space for opinions, stories, and detailed updates.

Taking Aim at X’s Extended Articles

With this move, Meta is directly competing with X (formerly Twitter), which already offers extended articles to its premium subscribers. Threads’ new notes feature provides basic formatting, making it easier for users to structure their content and engage their audience in a more meaningful way.

Early feedback suggests that users appreciate the added flexibility, especially those who want to share in-depth content or longer updates. As Meta continues to test and refine this feature, we can expect even more enhancements that could reshape how people interact and share on social media.
